Liked: Cleanliness
Very nice, unique place! Excellent value for the money. The upstairs bed with the trundle is very squeaky, and there is also a lot of water / pipe noise, so I kept waking up. The parking lot is very small and not paved. I had a lot of sand and dirt in my car because of it. There were a couple people there with trucks, so I was forced to back out on the street (luckily not super busy). A firm ergo pillow would have been nice also. Overall, a nice place to stay with plenty of towels and washrags. Love the coffee in the Lobby!
